Per; 4 THE NEBRASKAN Fridoy, Moy 25, 1956 The Inside World MofrcheSIl Ca LvafaJ U U VV w ps .'I :. it By JUDY BOST News Editor The demotion of C Clyde Mitch - all and the resulting controversy . concerning- "academic freedom and administrative percgative was rated as the top news story of the semester by Nebraskan staff members Tuesday. Selection of the stories was made according to relative news cover age given to each and over-all significance of the event, Bruce Brugmann, editor, said. Mitchell's demotion from his post was first announced in the pril IS issue of The Nebraskan. He was chairman of the depart ment of agricultural economics. Mitchell was reported demoted because of what sources within the 4 ec depatment referred to as "outside pressures." A controversy concerning the matter of academic freedom and administrative perogative followed the announcement of Mitchell's re moval as department chairman. Rated as the semester's second top news story was the denial of Student Council authority over in ternal affairs of student organiza tions by the Faculty Senate com mittee on student affairs. Early in the semester, the Stu dent Council Judiciary committee ruled that the Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic and Union must conform to the Council rul ing requiring a 5.7 average for executive officers. ! Upon protest from the organiza t i o n s concerned, the Council re ferred the matter to the faculty committee for a definition of the lines of Council authority over stu dent organizations. 3FC, Panhell and Union had protested on the grounds that they were of a peculiar nature and re ' ceived authority, in the case of TFC and Panhell, directly from the Board of Regents. The faculty ruling, in effect, ne gated the Council 5.7 ruling. . The University's First Spring Day was the third rated story.

On July 2 Mrs. Dean at Pratt & Aircraft w Today's leadership ... a reflection of policies established in aviation's infancy Bade in The Roaring Twenties, the magic dream pictured Ameri can families someday using the light personal airplane as freely as the family car. Among the realists, however, was a handful of men who were unshakable in their conviction that At real future of aviation lay with bigger aircraft, higher speeds, greater ranges all possible only through engines of bighcr power and more relia-, bility than those of that era. . - . In the spring of 1925, six of these men of vision founded a company in Hartford to undertake dj& development of a new air craft engine an air-coolcd type. The year's end heralded their first success Pratt & Chitney Aircraft's "Wasp". This talented group of men continued to Improve their power plant designs, developing engines of steadily mounting power that, operated efficiently and dependably. They, contributed much to aviation's progress so much so that currently three-quarters of the world's commercial airliners and many of our nation's first line military aircraft are P & W A -powered. Today's P & W A powerplant designs are supported by the very finest research facilities and equipment, and a technical staff that is continually being strengthened. That nucleus of six men has grown into one of the world's leading engineering organizations. Yet to this very day, engineering achievement at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft is guided by ia founders' simple policy . . . the best air , planes can be designed only around the best engines. r-f DIVISION OF CAST HARTFORD worked on the 100 member R-E Week committee.
